  • Fascinating Story/Mariginal Presentation

    I’m familiar with this story having read about it. I wanted to hear more recent information so listened to podcast. It’s too drawn out, so much supposition without any factual basis except guessing and poorly paced. Not everyone has the skills to be a podcaster. The true story deserves so much more, because it is fascinating and heartbreaking.

    Interesting story but it just drags and drags with far too much “banter”.

  • Thank you

    Thank you Jack for sharing your story and your amazing positive attitude. Cece posted about this podcast and I immediately binged the episodes out there. I am a genealogist (not professional) and as my job ends after 16 years and I contemplate a possible career change this reinforces & reignites my genealogy obsession.
